Chemistry of Carbon
• Organic chemistry is the study of all compounds that contain bonds between carbon atoms

Macromolecules• Macromolecules are formed by connecting many monomers together to create a polymer

The Four Organic Compounds• These 4 compounds are found in living things:
• Carbohydrates• Lipids• Nucleic acids• Proteins
![Page 5: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND ENZYMES EQ: What kind of organic compound are enzymes and what do enzymes do?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e9f5503460f94ba210c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Carbohydrates• Made up Carbon, 2 Hydrogen, and Oxygen
• Source of Energy
• Creates structure for plants

Different sizes of Carbohydrates• Monosaccharides
• Disaccharides
• Polysaccharides

Lipids• Lipids do not dissolve in water
• Different types of lipids• Fats• Oils• Waxes• Steroids

Nucleic Acids
• Nucleic acids are polymers assembled from individual monomers known as nucleotides
![Page 9: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND ENZYMES EQ: What kind of organic compound are enzymes and what do enzymes do?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e9f5503460f94ba210c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Nucleotides
• Smallest sub-unit for nucleic acids
• Examples of Nucleic acids:• DNA• RNA

Proteins• Proteins are macromolecules that contain nitrogen,
carbon, hydrogen, sulfur and oxygen• The monomer (sub-unit) of proteins are amino acids
![Page 11: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND ENZYMES EQ: What kind of organic compound are enzymes and what do enzymes do?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e9f5503460f94ba210c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Functions of Proteins• Speed up reactions – Enzymes• Used to form bones and muscles• Transport substances into or out of cells• Help to fight disease - antibodies
![Page 12: ORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND ENZYMES EQ: What kind of organic compound are enzymes and what do enzymes do?](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062314/56649e9f5503460f94ba210c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Enzymes• Enzymes provide a site where reactants can be brought
together to react.
• Enzymes speed up chemical reactions that take place in cells

Regulation of Enzyme Activity• Enzymes can be affected by any variable that influences a
chemical reaction.• pH values• Changes in temperature• Amount and concentrations of enzyme or substrate

Organism ProjectCreate an imaginary animal• Must include a drawing of the animal• Include where the animal live geographically.• What special skills does this animal have?• Make sure to include the male and female version of the
animal• This animal will be used the rest of the year in different ways to learn
more about life science and biology
Dietary plan of the Animal• How does the animal obtain all of it’s essential nutrients to
live?• How does it get: Protein, Lipids, and Carbohydrates?• List the importance of each organic compound for your specific animal
